  • Heart of Darkness begins on the Thames River in London, the most advanced city in the world of its day. And yet it "was once one of the dark places" of the earth. The fog in the landscape and repeated references to evil and darkness allows Conrad to lead the reader to question what he hears.

    English is my second language. I studied literature at the university in the beginning of 90s. I always wished to study it again. Now I am really happy to come across this video
    Thanks

    Wow! Great analysis. I love that comparison between the Theology of Glory and The Enlightenment vs Theology of The Cross. Thank you very much.

    Accurate analysis of darkness which is never easy to grasp. Heart of darkness can be compared to the eye of a tropical storm: darkness at noon..... Have you ever met dark spirited explorers whose consciousness was altered by their endless stay abroad ?Passion for a culture lead to a dual discovery which mixes deep emotional & spiritual gains. There is no possible return from such knowledge.

    Thank you. We can only hope that someday a lot more of internet content is as thought provoking and educational as this and a lot less like "Boy Stuck in Refrigerator Eats Own Foot". BTW, Namaste is a Hindu greeting, not Buddhist. Edit: Boy, not Eoy. Never was any good at typing.

    "namaste, or whatever they say...I don't...crazy stuff..."- Do you have a distant idea of what you're talking about? Apparently, you understand NEITHER 'namaste', nor Budhhism, and most importantly, NOR why this particular image finds its way here, in the text, while describing how the narrator sits.
    Disappointed.

      Please explain.

      I confused Hinduism (namaste) with Buddhism.
      My mistake. In Toronto, everything gets mixed into a mashup spirituality, so I shouldn’t have made that comment.
